LOCATION - GENERAL
•
Access
: For emergencies and maintenance the pump must be
easily accessible.
•
Protection
: The pump must be located in a dry position, frost
free and protected from freezing, particularly when installed in a
loft (not recommended).
•
Ventilation
: Ensure an adequate air flow to cool the pump.
Separate the pump from other appliances that generate heat. An
80 mm (3 ") air gap must be maintained around the pump.
•
Safety
: The motor casing can become very hot under normal
operating conditions. Care must be taken to ensure it cannot be
touched during operation.
•
Water retention
: Site the pump in a location where in the
unlikely event of a water leak, any spillage is contained or routed
to avoid electrics or areas sensitive to water damage.
•
Static inlet pressure
: Before deciding where to locate the unit,
check to ensure the static inlet head between pump and the
bottom of the cold water tank (Figure 2 and Figure 3), is at least
0.5 metres and does not exceed the max inlet head of 14 metres.
•
Ambient temperature
: The pump must be sited in a location
where the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed
40 °C.
•
Pipework
: For optimum performance pipework
MUST
be 22 mm
(21 mm in ROI). Pipework should only reduce to 15 mm when
entering terminal fitting.
•
Noise
: The anti-vibration mounting feet and flexible hoses which
are supplied as standard, and a precaution to reduce noise
transmission, however care must be taken when mounting the
pump that any noise is not amplified through loose panels or
pipework.
Do not screw down the pump
.
•
Direction of flow
: Ensure the water flow is in the direction of the
arrow that is marked on the flow switch reed clamp (vertically
upwards).
•
Flexible hoses
: Only use the Stuart Turner hose set supplied with
the pump.
•
Isolating valves
: Separate system isolating valves (non
restrictive) must be fitted to allow easy pump service.
